Just playing, right.

[Breathing out in...relief? He's still uncertain, though.]

To be honest? Kind of. Not saying it's a bad thing or anything. It's just...

[He's vaguely gesturing because, well, nerves.]

...unexpected.

[ridingvalkyrie]

[This would probably be better if she didn't look half as amused as she does but she can't really help it.]

I get it. Don't worry, I didn't exactly walk up to proposition you or anything.

[And here she gestures at his handy number.]

I mean part of it was I just wanted to ask bases because I've always been a curious sort of person.

[Then she shrugs her shoulders a little, her amused look mulling into something equally as friendly but more mellow. More distinctly Claire.]

Plus hey, it's not like I get to talk to you a lot. [That includes a much older Leon from her own... time? World? Whatever.] Business and all, you know how it is.

[rcpd]

[To be frank, yes, it would be better for him if she didn't look like she was on the verge of laughter but then again, it's Leon, so he kind of deserves it for being such a dork always sometimes.]

Curious, huh.

[He's about to make an attempt at teasing her back with some off-color question about her curiosity but quickly realizes they're getting into more serious territory here. So he relaxes, too.]

That's...fair. It's not as if we've bonded over anything except what caused us to meet in the first place.

...a shame, too.

[ridingvalkyrie]

[Hey now, don't let serious topics stop you from teasing. Claire sure as hell doesn't - most of the time.]

No kidding. Sometimes I get pretty sick of talking about nothing but B.O.Ws. When you're married to a job like I am, you sort of start discussing the same thing over and over.

[rcpd]

I could see how that sorta thing can get exhausting after a while, yeah.

[Not quite as experienced or traumatized as the Leon she might know, this one. But he's seen enough.

After a moment, he shoots a quick glance her way. Curious.]

...how do you do it? I mean, get by and meet other people and all that without letting it consume you?

[ridingvalkyrie]

[In a lot of ways that sort of question makes her think of Moira.]

I'll be honest, I don't think you can really outrun it consuming you at least a little.

[And some people like that much older Leon? Let it consume them a little too completely. Or break them in some way.]

I'll tell you why I do it though - I just don't want to see another Raccoon City. Ever. Or any of the other stuff Umbrella got into.

[Rockfort Island. Steve Burnside. WillPharma, Harvardville, Sherry consigning herself to the government without seeing any other choice. Hell even Leon was the same, roped to the government and look where it took him.]

So if I left myself drown in it all, how would I ever stop any of it?

[The look she ends up giving Leon is just so damn deadly serious... and a little pleading too.]

Remember to be human now and then, Leon. That's all I'm saying.
